The 16 tooth front sprocket gives a slightly higher top speed in 5th, at the expense of less power uphill. The GZ is not built for consistent speeds over 60-65mph. I would estimate a comfortable cruising speed of 55-60mph. You may be able to get to 75mph downhill with the wind behind you, but I wouldn't recommend thrashing it for extended periods.
